Hybrid Approaches to Image Coding: A Review

Hybrid Approaches to Image Coding: A Review

Now a days, the digital world is most focused on storage space and speed. With the growing demand for better bandwidth utilization, efficient image data compression techniques have emerged as an important factor for image data transmission and storage. To date, different approaches to image compression have been developed like the classical predictive coding, popular transform coding and vector...

Visual Pattern Image Coding by a Morphological Approach (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents an improvement of the Visual Pattern image coding (VPIC) scheme presented by Chen and Bovik in [2] and [3]. The patterns in this improved scheme are defined by morphological operations and classified by absolute error minimization. The improved scheme identifies more uniform blocks and reduces the noise effect. Therefore, it improves the compression ratio and image quality i...

LT-DCT Hybrid Scheme for Image Coding

This paper describes an efficient lifting based hybrid image coding (LB-HIC) scheme. The proposed scheme is based on using the lifting transform (LT) in conjunction with the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to provide coding performance superior to the popular image coders. The proposed method uses combination of the DCT coding and the high performance of the set partitioning in hierarchical tre...
